Israeli occupation forces continued their military escalation across towns and cities in the occupied West Bank, carrying out a series of raids and arrests that resulted in the martyrdom of two Palestinians.

In Nablus, occupation forces stormed the Balata refugee camp, east of the city, and arrested a young Palestinian after raiding his home. Additional units advanced into the al-Jabal al-Shamali area and searched a residential building.

In al-Khalil, raids were conducted in Wadi Abu Qatila, al-Arroub refugee camp, and the town of Sa'ir. During the incursion into al-Fawwar camp, Israeli forces deployed reinforcements as confrontations broke out with locals.

Israeli troops also stormed the city of Nablus once again and raided the home of freed prisoner Osaid al-Zeer in the Antar neighborhood of Qalandiya refugee camp, in northern occupied al-Quds.

In Ramallah, occupation forces arrested Sheikh Ibrahim al-Saba’ and his son Ahmad after raiding their home in the town of Beitunia.

In Tulkarm, raids targeted areas around the Helmi Hannoun School and the Kafr Rumman suburb, east of the city.

Palestinian casualties reported amid escalation

On Sunday, 24-year-old Suleiman Fawaz Nasser Manasrah was killed by Israeli gunfire near Jenin, following an armed confrontation at the entrance of the Homesh settlement in the northern West Bank. His body was subsequently seized by the occupation forces.

Separately, the Civil Affairs Authority informed both the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club of the death of Nasser Khalil Radaydeh, 49, from al-Ubeidiya near Beit Lahm. Radaydeh died while in Israeli custody.
